PARIS -- France coach Didier Deschamps has called up Lyon
forward Alexandre Lacazette for the first time to replace the
injured Jeremy Menez for next month's friendly matches against
Uruguay and Brazil.

The French Football Federation said Thursday that Menez has
pulled out because of back pains. The Paris Saint-Germain winger
has not played since scoring the goal that clinched the league
title in a 1-0 win at Lyon two weeks ago.

France plays Uruguay on June 5 and takes on Brazil four days
later.

Lacazette has been a regular for Lyon over the past two seasons
after progressing through the club's youth ranks.
